WINDOW SHADE BRACKET Filed Nov. s, 1936 Patented Sept. 27, 1938 UNITEDSTATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.

My invention relates to improvements in window shade brackets and theobject of my improvement is a window shade bracket of a neat and novelappearance, which can be easily 5 applied.

In the drawing:

and Figure II is a side view of window shade 0 bracket, looking towardleft side of window; and

Figure III is a diamond shaped shield of window shade bracket,containing slots for the blades to slip through; and

Figure IV is a side view of window shade 15 bracket, looking towardright side of window;

and

Figure V is a front view of window shade bracket when assembled; and

Figure VI is a top view of Window shade 20 bracket when assembled.

The frame I, die cut, out of #14 gauge iron and containing a notch 2,and a hole 3, and bevel edged blades 4, is bent in a square U, so thepoints of the blades are even, across.

25 The blades are then slipped in slots 5, in diamond shaped shield 6,also die cut out of #14 gauge iron, to the stops 1. These slots areopenings the same width and length, as the thickness and width of theblades.

30 The notch 2, in frame, is to receive the ratchet end of window shaderoller. The hole 3, in frame is to receive the idle end of window shaderoller.

The diamond shaped shield 6, being flush with Figure I is the frame ofwindow shade bracket;

window casing, when window shade bracket is in position, receives thepressure of the pull, when raising or lowering the window shade, andprevents the window shade bracket from working loose in the windowcasing.

The blades need not be longer than five-eighths of an inch, for ordinaryhousehold use.

The application of Window shade bracket is very simple; by tapping ordriving with a hammer on nose 8, as in driving a staple; until shield 6,is against window casing.

I claim:

1. A roller bracket having in combination a face plate with twoperforations, and a U-strip with its ends penetrating said perforationsand 15 sharpened to enter a casing, a notch in one arm of said U-strip,and a circular aperture in the other arm.

2. A roller bracket having in combination a kite-shaped face plate withtwo parallel slits, and a U-strip with sharpened ends penetrating theslits, with shoulders stopped by said plate, and with a rectangularnotch in one arm of said strip, and a circular aperture in the otherarm.

3. A roller bracket consisting of two pieces of sheet metal, one of saidpieces being a flat faceplate with two slits; and the other being asquare-shouldered staple with tangs passing through the slits in saidfaceplate and sharpened symmetrically to a point, said' strip having inits projecting portion a square cornered notch and a circular openingfor a roller spindle.
